It was another of those all fart and no poo performances, we had a lot of them last year but often managed to nick a goal and convinced ourselves all was well.

Special mention for how dire spurs were, it was like watching a newly promoted team come to the emirates, goalie timewasting right from the off, all behind the ball - sure they'll see it as a good point gained away but thought they had a little more amibition than that

How many times are we going to be left open by Arteta who's legs have gone or an unpredictable Flamini, Arsenal need some reliability and solidity in that role.

I'd like to see more of Chambers and the Ox together though

Yeah that was a really poor Spurs side tbh, negative from the off too which sort of takes the fun out of it a bit and isn't what we've come to expect but oh well. Definitely two points dropped, but I think as long as he keeps trying to shoehorn in Ramsey-Wilshere and a DM in the middle, we'll continue to struggle for some time. Baffling.

The wireless controller he was using to dodge it unwittingly was controlling both PS4 and his dusty old PS3 so while the dodge was successful on one console, he waltzed straight into it on the other.

He tried to get the surgery refunded because it was clearly unintentional but the doctors told him he was a cunt and to fuck off.

Or at least that's how Kotaku reported it awyway.

Imagine what would have happened to his knee if he'd joined Arsenal. His lower leg probably would have come clean off while jogging.

We are, after all, the club who can coax a hamstring strain out of a 23-year-old player with no previous history of hamstring trouble, who'd been rested for the previous game. :facepalm:

Probably not a lot any club can do about ligament ruptures, it's the muscle strains that are concerning. Those should be mostly preventable in theory.

Hopefully in time Shad Forsythe's methods will be implemented and we'll see positive results. It's gonna take a while though.

I remember seeing this in January just after Walcott got injured. According to this guy ACL injuries are very avoidable.

Controversial Dutch fitness coach Raymond Verheijenhas been in the news slating David Moyes's training methods and their role in Van Persie's injuries.

Now he's put in his 2 pence worth on Theo Walcott's injury.

Arsenal have had a pretty atrocious injury record in the past many seasons and some of his comments are illuminating. Also interesting are his comments on Wenger and his training methods.

The Dutch coach and fitness expert claims "nine out of 10 ACLs can be avoided" and explains why the England star would not have been injured had his workload been properly managed. Below is most of the interview especially his comments.

In an interview with Goal, Verheijen, a fitness guru and director of the World Football Academy, explained: "Walcott’s injury is not bad luck, it is the logical consequence of the approach at Arsenal. "They made a big gamble. It is Russian roulette with a player’s career. This whole [Arsenal] medical situation is deja vu. This shows you the low level of injury prevention in England."

Walcott returned to the Arsenal team on November 23, making five substitute appearances before a congested period in which he started all six of the club’s matches over 21 days, playing the full 90 minutes in all bar one of them.

Verheijen observed: "Walcott went from nothing to everything. If you haven’t played for a while you are not totally fit. Then, when you play a game when you are not top fit you will need more recovery time than normal. A top-fit player recovers from the game after 48 hours. But a player who is not top fit takes 72 hours to recover. So a less fit player is more susceptible to injury.

"So, in December when you are playing all these games while needing more recovery time than the average player it is common sense that you are accumulating fatigue."

"Nine out of 10 ACLs can be avoided, because the main reason why an ACL happens is that the knee is temporarily unprotected when the players turns or leans" he said.

"Normally, your muscles contract to stabilise the knee and nothing happens. Over the holiday period when players play so many games and have accumulated fatigue, their nervous system slows down and the signal from the brain to the muscles gets slower. When they make explosive movements the signal arrives a millisecond too late, the player leans or turns with an unprotected knee and the ACL snaps.

"You often see the ACL happens with a very simple action – something a player has done in his career one million times. On one million occasions the knee was protected and everything was in its place. On the one-million-and-first time the signal arrives too late and the ACL snaps."

Verheijen added that explosive players are more at risk of tearing a ligament.

"Yes, because if you are a more explosive player your speed of actions is higher. The impact on the ligaments, muscles, brain and joints is higher. And the risk is higher. The higher the pace and acceleration, the more impact on your knee."

"What Arsene Wenger did 15 years ago was revolutionary for the UK," the Dutchman said. "But he kept doing what he was doing for 15 years so, basically, he stood still.

"Now everybody has caught up and improved and he is behind, but he still has this professorial image. "If you publish this article in evidence you already know how some people will react. They will say ‘you cannot prove it’. The only thing you can do is provide logic and reasoning."

Verheijen says Arsenal must not make the mistake of rushing Walcott back, or overplaying him when he does return.

Asked how long it takes to play top-level football after tearing an ACL, Verheijen said: "Nine to 12 months. Theo Walcott has to rehabilitate his career, not only his ACL. What this means is that you have to rehabilitate in a way that you don’t pick up a new injury a month after playing again. "That is what often happens with ACL players. In the six months after the player returns he picks up another three injuries because he didn’t develop a good firmament in rehab and he was rushed back. When you rush a player back in six to seven months he will pick up a new injury and he is then threatening his career.

"Walcott needs proper rehab. It is takes nine months but once you are back you are so fit you will not pick up an injury again and you will give your career a major boost."

Verheijen is a notorious retard. He has certain clubs and managers he likes to put the boot into, and others he turns a blind eye to. He will take any opportunity he can to slag off Wenger, and I think David Moyes must have fucked his wife or something. But literally never a peep about Sergio Aguero getting muscle injuries every other week.

Besides, Walcott hurt his in a tackle after getting a blow to the leg. How in god's name is that avoidable? Guy is a total weapon.

There's certainly truth in the fact that players who get overplayed get injured more, and players who are rushed back from injuries are more prone to getting other injuries.

It's just that it's a truth so fucking basic that Frank down the pub wouldn't have struggled to work it out, so I don't know why it needs this guy.
